The narrative elements of the work the color harmonies, historical subject, imitation of the light of dawn these are all kinds of stories or arguments that the painter uses on us to affect us in a rhetorical way. Although these choices contribute powerfully to the visible effect of the finished painting, they are not visible in the way brushstrokes are. The various skills of working with paints pigment choices, color mixing, and accurate dilution are by comparison something the viewer cannot see as clearly. It expresses the painter's movements, as well as his thoughts and observations. Which gives the brushstroke a vivid physical and spirital dimension. The range and quality of brushstrokes conveys the experience, feeling and conviction of the painter, in the same way physical movement of the body expresses the culture, emotion and energy of the human being. The brush is the physical spirit of the painter in the act of painting.
